You have a lot to learn about WP before it becomes appropriate for you to edit any "Template:" page. I've copied your misplaced edit below. While it might have been a pair of acceptable edits (i'll refrain from judging that hastily) on new article pages, i've also followed it by a version of it that i've edited to illustrate such WP standards as Wiki-markup formatting and avoidance of "smart quotes", which you save your colleagues effort, and make them more likely to help fit your contributions in with the rest of the 'pedia.

THE BOOK: "THE INVINCIBLE ALICE" Author: Alice L. Luckhardt of Stuart, FL Description: In today’s society there are countless celebrities, financial wizards and political statesmen, all making a name for themselves, especially by appearing over and over again in multiple media venues of the press and television. Those individuals are termed, ‘the famous’ but what of the individuals in America who made a difference, took risks, overcame adversities, made changes and tried to help their community? Their legacy for achievement certainly cannot be forgotten, nor should it be forgotten, for they are what made America. The saying, “everyone has a story” is absolutely true for each person whoever existed but never so true a statement as it applies to Alice Louise Walters. She is a Florida-raised, privileged, educated and lovely young woman in 1940. Yet, over the next 67 years she endured numerous personal illnesses, family deaths and four different husbands within a dozen years. Alice questioned herself, why such dreadful and terrible things continually happened to her and those around her. She always remained the tower of strength for everyone. Her friends and family alike agreed Alice appeared to be the invincible woman, the unflinching rock or harbor, where a person felt secure. Surrender to fate was not how she approached life. Living life to its fullest; whether being a pilot, model, businesswoman or nurse, she attempted it all. Whenever anyone has heard even a fraction of the events and obstacles in her life they are immediately in disbelief. How could one person have accomplished so much, withstood such tragedies, endured such pain and still be half-way sane? Plus to achieve what she has during a time when women were still striving for equality is amazing. Her own life is an inspiration to countless people and she has taught by example. The phrases, “Why me?” or “I can not do this!” have never been a part of her vocabulary. Alice is a “can do” person, one with eternal passion, drive and endurance. She can only be termed the ‘invincible Alice’. The Author: Alice L. Luckhardt, is a native of Florida and a graduate of FSU. She is a former teacher and family business manager. For the last 12 years she has completed hundreds of genealogical research projects for family and non-family individuals.
